Light City

A simple, beautiful theme.

Updates! Pages, Tags, and HTML5!

I humbly introduce the newest version of Light City, which finally adds support for things people have been asking for for months. Building on the code changes introduced in 2.0, 2.1 adds support for pages, which are now listed in the footer, and tags, which are now itemized below posts. It’ll now also link to /ask and /submit for you, if you’ve got them enabled, and your archive and RSS feed.

A side effect of the recent changes is that the proper font is now used for the headers on all systems. Palatino has always been preferred, but I ran into an alignment problem with it on OS X. As a solution, I threw in Baskerville—the least offensive to me of the alternatives I considered—to be used on Macs. This was an ugly hack that survived far too long, and I’m happy to say that it is no longer needed.1

In addition, 2.1 fixes the theme on Internet Explorer, where it was left almost entirely unstyled after 2.0.2


  1. To the best of my knowledge, that is. Macs get the least testing because, well, I don’t have one. (Donations welcome! :-D) Feel free to complain if I made it ugly again. 

  2. I’m especially glad I didn’t submit that one to the theme garden now. 

Light City's been around almost forever. You've had plenty of time to add support for questions.

What's taking so long? Any chance we'll get questions styled soon?

Yep. Working on it right now. Sorry for the delay.
